livendive 8 #21 August 22, 2008 I use free ZoneAlarm as my firewall, free AVG for virus protection, and free ad-aware and spybot for the privacy/spyware stuff. ZoneAlarm hiccuped several days in a row on a windows update a few weeks ago, but a fresh install after it was revised fixed that. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
